By next Monday morning, the cobwebs will be gone, the candy stash will be half-empty, and your students will be caught somewhere between Halloween hype and holiday anticipation.
It’s that magical little window where pumpkins meet pine trees, and piano teachers everywhere are looking for a fun way to help students shift gears.
It’s short, sweet, and the perfect moment to sneak in something new before the holiday music rush begins.
Enter our Hurry To The Holidays Practice Tracker, the perfect bridge from costumes to carols!
If you’re ready to turn that post-Halloween energy into productive piano progress, this is the printable to grab. Your students will love the journey, and you’ll love how it keeps their practice habits steady all November long.
How To Use Today’s Practice Tracker
Once Halloween wraps up, give today’s printable (available at the bottom of the post) to your students and tell them they’re about to begin their journey from mummy to reindeer!
Each day they practice, they’ll grab their tracker, pick up their crayons, and color in two squares to mark their progress. Before they color, have them take a quick look at all of their previously colored squares—they should point to each note and name it aloud for a little extra note-reading review.
Then comes the fun twist: the Crayon Guide at the bottom uses music notes to show which color to use next. Students will need to use their note-reading skills to decode the guide and find the right crayon.
By the time they reach the reindeer at the piano, they’ll have built a colorful path of practice, strengthened their note reading, and kept their motivation high all the way to the holidays.
Note: Two practice trackers are available in the download: one to reinforce middle C position note reading and one to reinforce C position note reading.
